Discussion Thread - Neo-Cons Vs. Knee Jerk Liberals
Here are some admittedly leading starter questions to get the proverbial ball rolling:
- Is deficit spending the way to go to get us out of the economic slump?
- If deficit spending is the ticket, has the money been spent wisely or has it been mis-appropriated by the President and Congress?
- Should Obama taken more of a role in shaping where the stimulus money should have went? (This Editor thinks yes but that a stimulus was absolutely needed to get the economy from slipping further).
- Or should we just lower taxes for the rich and have them invest their millions overseas or buy more yachts? After all yacht building produces jobs.
- Are rich people rich because they are better than everyone else, hardworking, Machiavellian, or just lucky?
- Which one is the clear winner here Keynesian Economics, Supply Side Economics, or principles of both? (This actually requires some open minded analysis).
- If you buy into a larger role for government as a liberal, doesn't NJ's Hudson County machine give you a moment for re-evaluation on that belief given all the waste you can see right in front of your face?
- Or is it a bit of nonsense to try to compare government to private businesses in terms of efficiency?
My comment: Remember keep it civil. :) ◦
